a well-substantiated explanation

Arrrg! nvm. Back on topic... I'll take low end and small enclosure, please.

Theory does not equal hypothesis equals conjecture.

Theory is a scientific explanation of a hypothesis.

As used in science, a theory is an explanation or model based on observation, experimentation, and reasoning, especially one that has been tested and confirmed as a general principle helping to explain and predict natural phenomena. Any scientific theory must be based on a careful and rational examination of the facts.

reread this very closely it is straight from the dictionary dude //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Cherry picker. Logical fallacy. Every definition except 2 and 6 proves my point, besides, it's a scientific theory and not philisophical. The context is completely different.

What cracks me up is that the difference between 1 ohm and 4 ohms is only 4db. Uh... correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't a 3db difference 'twice as loud' to the ear? So, the tiny little 4db difference is... well its actually pretty big.

10 db in "THEORY" is twice as loud it takes double the power in "THEORY" to increase 3db

I thought going from 120db to 130db was ten times as loud, since decibels work on a logarithmic scale //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif

 

[SicAudio 5,000+ posts]

no it is 2 x's as loud

i think you may be confusing the 3db gain by doubling power

try this link it will explain it and has a cool calculator too //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

[Hii Im Justin 10+ year member]

wat?

 

[jmanpc 5,000+ posts]

Could be. I'm kind of rusty on all this theory stuff.

Point is, though, that 4db is a pretty significant reduction in output for the sake of running your amp at 4 ohms.
